Doesn't recognize Google Chrome

[frm]

@shime do you want me to change it to have a uniform option? Right now it's google-chrome on one OS, chrome on the other, which might be confusing.

[shime]

Did you try google-chrome?

What OS are you using?

[Casinelli]

@shime Tried now, doesn't work.

[shime]

What OS are you using?

[Casinelli]

MacOS Sierra version 10.12.5. Chrome version 60.

[shime]

Try with 'Google Chrome'.

let g:livedown_browser = "'Google Chrome'"

This opens google chrome on a Mac:

$ livedown start README.md --browser "'Google Chrome'" --open

[Casinelli]

The console command works. But still not working in VIM. Tried both :LivedownToggle and :LivedownPreview, nothing.

[wallevy]

@Casinelli you can set the chrome as the default browser, then you no need to set the g:livedown_browser

[hitochan777]

'google-chrome' worked for me, though livedown-autorun and livedown_open are not working, so I have to call :LivedownPreview manually.
Btw, I am using ubuntu 16.04.

This is fixed in #31 , if you're still having issues @Casinelli

Since you're running Ubuntu, can you check @hitochan777 my version? To be sure it works in Linux before a fix is merged. Thanks!

[shime]

@hitochan777 please let me know if you still have issues with Chrome in Linux so I can reopen the issue if you do.

[hitochan777]

@justmendes @shime On Ubuntu, now google-chrome (not 'google-chrome') works! Thank you for your work!
Regarding livedown-autorun and livedown_open issue, it was due to the setting of vim package manager that I use.

By the way, it is a bit confusing to set different values depending on the OS (e.g., chrome and google-chrome).
It might be useful to mention the difference in the documentation.

[shime]

@hitochan777 great, thanks for the info.

Since Livedown uses opn for opening a browser, looks like you have an issue with that library. It looks like it uses some new version of xdg-open on Linux, so maybe that's the problem.

[shime]

@justmendes yeah, go ahead. That would be great.
